Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Enchanced parse / stringify functions to make package working with FTBQuests mod's .snbt file format. See real usage examples here.

Description

npm downloads

An easy to use encoder and decoder for the NBT format.

NBT compound tags are represented as plain JavaScript objects. The Byte, Short, Int and Float number types are wrapped in custom classes since JavaScript does not support them directly.

Node 10.4 or higher is required for BigInts, which are used to represent 64 bit integers.

Usage

const { encode, decode, Byte, Short, Int, Float } = require("nbt-ts")

const buffer = encode("root", {
    byte: new Byte(-1),
    short: new Short(65535),
    int: new Int(-2147483648),
    long: 0x7fffffffffffffffn,
    float: new Float(0.75),
    double: 0.1 + 0.2,
    string: "Hello world",
    list: ["item 1", "item 2"],
    compound: {
        byteArray: Buffer.from([0x80, 0x40, 0x20]),
        // Int8Array does work here too
        intArray: new Int32Array([1, 2, 3, 4]),
        longArray: new BigInt64Array([1n, 2n, 3n, 4n])
    },
})

decode(Buffer.from("02000973686F7274546573747FFF", "hex"))
// → { name: 'shortTest', value: Short { value: 32767 }, length: 14 }

// Encode unnamed tag
encode(null, "a")
// → <Buffer 08 00 01 61>

// Decode unnamed tag
decode(Buffer.from("08000161", "hex"), { unnamed: true })
// → { name: null, value: 'a', length: 4 }

Note that the encode function accepts both unsigned numbers such as 255 and signed numbers like -1 which are essentially the same in the case of a 8 bit integer. However when decoded, they will always have the signed representation. If you want to convert a number to the unsigned representation, you might do something like this:

value & 0xff   // for bytes
value & 0xffff // for shorts
value >>> 0    // for ints
BigInt.asUintN(64, value) // for longs
// or
value & 0xffffffffffffffffn

SNBT

The NBT format also has a more user-friendly variant in plain text. This format is referred to as SNBT, short for stringified NBT. Here are all the types represented in SNBT:

{
    byte: 1b, short: 1s, int: 1, long: 1l,
    float: 0.5f, double: 0.5,
    string: "Hello world",
    list: [{}, {}],
    compound: {
        byteArray: [B; 128, 64, 32],
        intArray: [I; 1, 2, 3, 4],
        longArray: [L; 1, 2, 3, 4]
    }
}

Here is an example how you can stringify or parse SNBT:

const { stringify, parse } = require("nbt-ts")

const tag = parse(`{'Flying' :1b , unquoted: hello} `)
// → { Flying: Byte { value: 1 }, unquoted: 'hello' }

stringify(tag)
// → '{Flying:1b,unquoted:"hello"}'
